taken 2 years ago, near to New Houses, North Yorkshire, England
The Pennine Way is a National Trail in England, with a small section in Scotland. The trail runs 267 miles from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and the Northumberland National Park and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The path runs along the Pennine hills, sometimes described as the "backbone of England". Although not the United Kingdom's longest National Trail, it is according to the Ramblers' Association "one of Britain's best known and toughest".
A 70 mile long distance footpath tracing the River Ribble from the Irish Sea at Longton to its ultimate source on Gavel Gap in the Yorkshire Dales.
It passes through Preston, Ribchester, Clitheroe, Sawley, Gisburn, Settle, Horton-in-Ribblesdale and Ribblehead - from where it follows tributary branches to a spring at 1,850 ft above sea level.
